wex65 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 With my newly acquired '55 Roadmaster I am located close to Martinsburg, WV so if anyone is close let me know. Always good to know if there are likeminded people within shouting distance.Thanks,Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 She's a BEAUTY!!! CONGRATS. Hopefully you've joined the Buick Club of America. That puts you "close" to everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLP5357 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Paul - I second Mr.Earl's suggestion re joining the BCA. I joined a little over a year ago - the monthly BCA magazine is excellent. Also joined the AACA at the same time. As far as likeminded folks in your area - you'll probably find quite a few. I'm just west of Pittsburgh and found there's lot of BCA folks in my own backyard. I haven't met with anyone yet, but I will once I join a local chapter. BTW, that is a nice looking Roadmaster - I'm in the middle of restoring a 57 Special Conv. with at least a couple years to go before completion. Can't wait 'til the day I can finally drive that thing - there's nothing quite like the 50's Buicks! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avgwarhawk Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Paul, I'm located in MD. Not by choice but you can't win them all :-). Enjoy your Buick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jscheib Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Paul,Nice car, and welcome to the forums.The BCA roster shows 32 members in WV, and 2 of these right in Martinsburg. Being there are a number of "shall we say" older folks, in the BCA, they may not be on these forums very often. There are also a number in nearby MD and VA. There are local chapters in eastern VA, MD and DC, but if you and some of the locals would want to get a local chapter going out there, that can be done.Also note that you might consider taking a trip to Concord, NC the last week of June (see elsewhere on the forums for details) for the National meet and you will see quite a number of Buicks there.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wex65 Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 Thanks for the replies guys, I was looking at the Concord meet but might need to be in Europe that week.I will check out the BCA today.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jscheib Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 wex65,Did you have any luck with the local contacts? Did you get my PM regarding the local show in PA and MD? If you do get to Concord, look me up and I will see if I can get you connected with others in your area.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wex65 Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 53buickspecial8, nice car. I am in the process of trying to get my bumpers chromed here in WV and it looks like you might need the same at some point. If I come up with a cost effective solution I will let you know. The quotes thus far are somewhat higher than I had expected.If you are up in this area (Martinsburg/Charles Town) feel free to look me up.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Dawn Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Paul, Welcome to the wonderful world of Buicks. I have a 56 model 48 (modified) and live in MD. We have a local chapter here and do a Buick Car Show in the September time frame. Also there is a Buick Car Show in Mechanicsburg PA in early June that is not too far from you. Hope to see you around. BTW that is very nice Roadmaster. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
